Though we are not Jewish, my daughter attends a Jewish preschool.
This week, in preparation for Passover, her school has been sending home wonderful hand-outs full of activities on how
to celebrate and honor this holiday.
My favorite hand-out, of course, was the one with five pages of
Passover recipes including these matzah recipes. These would be fun to do with kids if you've got 'em.
Chocolate Matzah
1 large package chocolate chips
1 tbsp margarine
4 matzah
Melt chocolate and margarine over low heat. Stir to prevent burning. Break matzah into pieces and stir into
chocolate. Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Pour chocolate matzah mixture onto waxed paper. Cover with another
sheet of waxed paper and flatten with a rolling pin. Refrigerate. When mixture hardens, peel off waxed paper and break
chocolate into pieces.

Preparing for Passover (Pesach): Orange-glazed chicken breasts
This recipe is taken from the New Jewish Holiday Cookbook by Gloria Kaufer
Greene. You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate the delicious recipes in this book. It's a wonderful addition to my
cookbook collection.
Green says one of the best things about this recipce is that "it makes a lot of
servings in a minimum of space." It can also be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen. It is one of
Greene's favorite Seder dishes.
Orange-Glazed Chicken Breasts
